3D Printed Headers for the RC4wd Scale V8 Deal or Dud

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Boy that sucks!! Not being able to fit like they suppose to!! I've been there many times! And the problem with me is that I don't have the patience you have! But you did a good job, I think they look pretty good under the hood! Nice rig is coming along nicely👍👌

[@ryanford9259]

I 3d print most of my parts. Slowing down the print speed. Making the layers shorter are some ways to make these parts less brittle as well as other filaments. I even run 3d printed shock mounts on my scx10. And my front stinger bumper.

[@VampireTech-aka-Feds]

If it's printed in ABS plastic it should smooth out quite nice and be stronger using acetone vapor.

[@RCeveryday]

Its not ABS, its very brittle and doesnt flex at all.

[@reddsshaker3477]

In the future you can make your own headers from lead-free silver bearing solder (plumbing dept at Home Depot), and some strips of brass stock for the flanges. Cut the strips to length, drill holes for the header pipe, and bend the solder to shape. It's easy to cut and shape, and you can polish it to look like silver Jet Coat, or scuff and paint whatever color you like.

[@RCeveryday]

Very nice idea. I've considered using brass but thensolder would be much less fussy to work with.

[@reddsshaker3477]

RC Everyday, Yup. And you can simply epoxy the solder into the brass pieces, or use CA glue. You do not have to actually solder it together. Actually, I would recommend that you DON'T try to solder it. That could be a catastrophe. Lol.

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

Mike Forrester Yes. you can't solder solder

[@jamurphy8386]

wizBeats VA - pretty much what he just said! 😦😒

[@chrisrolfes6348]

They don't look too bad from the video. Not sure how it looks in person.

[@joet-sk4sw]

I got away from the model more scale builds due to the yeti n just the other day baha rey ,I love em but part of the fun is like what ur doing,I started a custom built but never picked it back up sense I got the yeti ,bought a shit load of upgrades that equaled more money then the yeti it self n that was it.the yeti s awesome but think im gonna put it up for the winter n get back to the custom build.

[@kingstonrc329]

Hey your gigs are the best man. 👍keep up the great work.

[@dylanrice6707]

use the square food containers that you get at the dollar stores to make inner fenders

[@RCeveryday]

Ive thought about it, just didnt have any around the house that would work. Have to got to the store lol

[@dylanrice6707]

+RC Everyday haha yea and i still got to get someone to do the wiring on my Vaterra k5 kit I've had it since Christmas just haven't had time to get it finshed

[@RCeveryday]

Thats my least favorite part. lol

[@dylanrice6707]

+RC Everyday haha yea

[@reddsshaker3477]

RC4WD is now selling the proper front inner fenders for the K5. Tower Hobbies has them listed.

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Could u make those headers out of brass?? And then paint them white. Just askin

[@RcAVENTURE.V.F.R]

nice brother 👍 👍 👍 excellent work. thank for sharing

[@wigleybros.racing7392]

You should try stainless brake line

[@lyzheng8061]

if you like we can print them again with our top precise printer.

[@jmd200766mustang]

i need those now lol.got me a k5 blazer thats running. we need to make a scale video

[@highlandcrawler]

Make up a pair of stock style manifolds maybe? bummer the headers didnt work a lil better

[@RCeveryday]

They work well enough for now. RC4wd just dropped a handful of new products for the V8 today. No headers yet but I wont be surprised to see some metal exhaust coming soon for it.

[@johnsalt19]

Could you not of dremmeled a bit of the pipes where the screws go in to get the screws in

[@stevenyoung3075]

I think I'll try to make my headers.

[@CarmineRC]

Headers end up looking ROUGH, no matter what anyway! I would just dab a little rust colored paints in spots, to mask the imperfections. Also, drill holes in the output flanges, to fit some kind of dowel.... it's great for lining up exhaust pipes to the headers! 😉

[@CarmineRC]

BTW, that engine looks INSANELY good!!

[@jamurphy8386]

It really does, don't it! *WAY* out of our price range, but badass just the same!

[@jamurphy8386]

BTW brother, I know you STILL can't afford internet..... but you'll be able to read this at some point. I am still working my ASS off, trying to get ANYONE to help you and your family. Out of All of your subscribers, friends and acquaintances - *TWO* people have donated to your PayPal account since FEBRUARY! 😠😕😢😢😢 I'm regrouping right now, trying to figure out how to get people to help, without thinking it's just some scam..... I know you guys are starving, and I'm working overtime to get y'all as much food as I can manage - ALONE. Currently, I'm very frustrated, and inadvertently pissing people off, just trying to get them to help. Hey, I don't give up! I'll think of something. Murph

[@karlschweizer2554]

carmine rc4wd there headers look so real and fit great

[@samlonzo70]

Fantastic. Job well done!

[@kurtschmaldinst4340]

Keep up the great videos I really enjoyed them thanks !!!

[@billpapps4345]

Looks like turbo headers to me. Turn em upside down. Stick twin turbo's on that old Blazer..

[@erichiles9568]

Little bit of heat stretch them

[@joshw1574]

Should sand them smooth 👍

[@willsgarage1859]

cool rc, look like real😎🖒🖒🖒🖒

[@stephenmulvey9821]

Did flipping the servo mount work?

[@RCeveryday]

Yes it did. Just have to run a shorter servo so it fit in behind the front bumper.

[@stephenmulvey9821]

RC Everyday thank you!

[@dannymcclusky2134]

it's looking good

[@joet-sk4sw]

were can I get a blazer bod like that,hard body rite?

[@RCeveryday]

rc4wd.com makes the blazer body set

[@johnconnell1424]

Looks cool 😎

[@chrisrolfes6348]

If interested I would make you a set like the ones I made for my blazer? Material cost is $8

[@DatBoi-rh4bk]

What are yours made of?

[@chrisrolfes6348]

Made from copper and brass

[@DatBoi-rh4bk]

+Chris Rolfes okay, so you just silver solder them?

[@DatBoi-rh4bk]

I was thinking of doing that but I don't have a scaler (don't get me wrong I want to get one) I just watch this guy because I like his skill and I don't know how he does it it's like magic lol

[@chrisrolfes6348]

I just used regular rosin core solder.

[@codyburns1278]

How fast can you go with that transmission

[@RCeveryday]

Ive never seen any recommended speed range for it. Ive only run it in crawlers so I cant say for sure.

[@codyburns1278]

Ok I was just wondering cause I want to put it in a scale rc trophy truck

[@TomuraKubomi]

Where did you get the canoe on the roof?

[@RCeveryday]

Adventure wheels toys from walmart has a set with a canoe and kayak. I panted it and weathered it to look more real.

[@TomuraKubomi]

RC Everyday any idea where i can get it online? I don't live in the us

[@RCeveryday]

I see them on ebay listed in the scale crawler category, maybe someone who ships internationally. I have never seen them for sale anywhere else, not to say they are not though.

[@TomuraKubomi]

RC Everyday thanks i'm looking to pick up a trail finder 2 for chistmas

[@gianmamontanari6164]

Hello! Which set of tyre do you have used?

[@RCeveryday]

These are the rc4wd 1.55 iroc

[@gianmamontanari6164]

RC Everyday thank you

[@gianmamontanari6164]

RC Everyday can I use these tyres with them: m.ebay.it/itm/RC-1-9-Beadlock-Aluminum-Wheel-Rim-For-1-10-Rock-Crawler-1060-Axial-SCX10-D90/252770256252?hash=item3ada48057c:m:mB_YAsydE_EwIjGTBi_1GFg

[@RCeveryday]

You could, but you would have to stretch them on the bigger wheel. It will make the sidewalls bulge more. RC4wd makes the irok tire in 1.9 size but it is a bit taller. Not sure how much.

[@gianmamontanari6164]

RC Everyday thanks

[@flappyone9775]

Loving the Chevy, should try to lower it

[@vampcaff]

hit it with some chrome paint

[@bedingbedang]

Would you share the stl file please ?

[@RCeveryday]

I did not print these, they are sold on ebay by RC mayham garage. You can see the packaging they came in at 0.03 in the video.

[@shipwrecked2006]

cut the bolt heads off glue em in place,never know

[@mansonmydog]

just glue cut off bolt heads on

[@jamurphy8386]

That's exactly what I thought! He's right, it's not TOO noticeable.... my OCD wouldn't let me leave it alone!! 😲🍺🍺🍺

[@dannymcclusky2134]

Need To Run Pipes Out The Back Off The Headers

[@williereed2962]

all the holes in the headers dont lineup imo dont buy them i bought the ones from chris rolfes they are awesome

[@kimbonett3966]

You need to get a sherline cnc , It a hobby machine ,bench top,and if you know math you can program it. check out my ( 1/10 scale Hemi on youtube ) I made it in my basement . Joe bonett

[@RCeveryday]

That looks cool but a bit out of my price range.

[@TheGreasegetter]

Sorry josh just looked over the heading,im a dipshit,sorry.

[@RCeveryday]

lol, no worries man.

[@guozhengwu5512]

Look at me, the three speed V8 engine

[@Nickwillfixit]

Ugly, haven't seen any nice ones but they will not be that visible once the engine bay is filled up.

[@TheGreasegetter]

RC4WD should sponsor you and not sell shit that dosent fit right at this point of the game.Keep at it.

[@RCeveryday]

These headers aren't from rc4wd though. I've talked to them about some ideas before as well. But it seems they only sponsor people who compete which makes sense. I'm not out going to events and promoting their products.

[@reddsshaker3477]

3D printed stuff is a crap shoot. Most of it is crude and coarse like those headers you got.
